Hooker

Post by robbie67 »

Unless he is going to improve his decision making and his disposal, he is not going to be any good to us in the long term. If you cant kick or handpass, you cant play.

May get better results seeking employment more akin to his name.
He's good at f****** things up.

Plenty of mates tonight, too.

I like hooker but needs to know what going to happen in situations better, running too hard and allowing Nick to turn around far quicker and just run into goal hurt and he knew it, punched the ground

he'll be fine, but he's not agile enough and when we get sliced open like last night he can't defend

I'd love Gumbleton to make it, if for no other reason than we can afford to play Hurley in the backline.

Pretty sure Hurls will stay forward now.... but IF (and its a big IF) Gumby stays fit and Daniher plays seniors quickly you never know what could happen...

Well that's my point. IF Gumbleton makes it and Daniher comes on at all, let alone as well as they are talking him up, we can easily afford to play Hurley in the backline.

I would still play him forward this year, even if Gumbleton gets in and stays in.
